Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 small yellow onions, cut into small dice
1 poblano pepper, ribs and seeds removed, cut into medium dice
1/4 cup chili powder
3/4 to 1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken stock, plus more if needed
One 15-ounce can hominy, drained and rinsed
2 pounds smoked chicken thighs, shredded (can also be grilled if you don't have a smoker)
One 15-ounce can white beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup masa harina, plus more if needed
Kosher salt
Serving suggestions: shredded fontina cheese, tortilla chips, sour cream and lime wedges
Directions
- Heat the canola oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, onions and poblanos and cook for about 10 minutes or until soft. Add the chili powder and continue to cook for approximately 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the heavy cream, chicken stock, hominy and shredded chicken thighs. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting and cook for 45 minutes.
- To finish, add the white beans and masa harina. Bring back to a simmer to thicken, stirring frequently. Season with kosher salt. If desired, adjust the consistency with either more chicken stock or masa harina.
- Serve with fontina cheese, tortilla chips, sour cream and lime wedges.
